Welcome to Litsy!

Great article & having just seen the newest Jurassic, I so missed Ellie Sattler & all the great, no bs women on this list. We need more of that in books & movies.

Guess what movie I‘m seeing? Lol! I hope it‘s good!

At the movies!!

Finally got around to reading this. I must say, as much as I love the movie, the book is just so much better.

My son got this for his birthday. I think the adults are enjoying it more then he is. Trying to convince my hubby to read the books, he is more of a movie watcher only kinda of guy.

Read it right after my friend, Caitlin #bfls
Can be summed up by a tweet I saw “in a sense, none of our dinosaurs have ever escaped because society itself is just another larger cage. Fuck yeah that sounds so smart. But yeah like 18 to 19 dinosaurs are currently loose.”

I couldn't pass up using one of my favorite books and movies for #Laboratory. Life finds a way. 😁

Someone ⬆️🐕 is stropping and giving me this look because I stopped his belly rub to turn my page 😑 I'm sorry Korben it's a tense scene.... 😬🦖 oooops. #dogsoflitsy #readingpal #readingpet #dinosaurs @CymbaX13 @TheWolfbehindTheEyes

3rd reread but 1st time reading my folio society edition with original illustrations 🦖😍🦕 this will get me out of my reading slump. Happy reading and weekend everyone 📚 ❤ 📖 #jurassicpark #dinosaurs #foliosociety #scifi #thrill #horror #adventure #illustrations

I‘ve read this I think twice before, and somehow always seems to forget everything about it. This time around, I found Lex incredibly irritating. Having 3 kids, I can‘t imagine an 8 yr old acting so whiny and petulantly in such dangerous situations. Also, Ellie did nothing but look hot in her short shorts. Maybe Crichton didn‘t like women back then? Otherwise, fun read, fun dinosaurs.

RANDOM POST: This will probably be the most random thing I ever post on here buttttt I just wanted to share my Stegosaurus birth mark(it's on my knee) with all of Litsy because I feel super special! My oldest son has the same birth mark on his back (: Hahaha currently been binge watching Jurassic Park/World and cannot wait for the next one to come out this summer.

Happy weekend everyone. These are my dinosaur novels. Can anyone think of any I'm missing or you recommend please? Let me know if you need me to read a title. Happy reading everyone hope you're all ok. #dinosaur #prehistoric #jurassic #triassic #cretaceous #adventure #scifi #science

Day 147.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Coming to this from watching the films, there are so many differences, especially in terms of the Lost World. Man, were we cheated terribly in that film adaptation. Cheated!! Sarah Harding was such a badass in the book.

Much like Crichton, a lot of scientific details to make it all plausible and natural within the scope of the fantasy without losing the reader. Both books were entertaining, detailed, and yes filled with science and dinosaurs.

New Year‘s Eve Jurassic style! My last book finished in 2021. Suspenseful and I like it as well as the movie. Still working on my alphabet challenge to read my shelves. 3/5🦕s

Had to ask permission to share this as it isn't mine but WOW! As a Jurassic Park and book lover I absolutely love this tattoo 😍😍 @CymbaX13 @TheWolfbehindTheEyes #jurassicpark #dinoreading #clevergirl

Someone is being daring today. Yes I am having a heart attack right now. @Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm sure you understand. Bilbo yes you are a raptor and yes they jumped on the T-Rex in Jurassic Park but this is NOT acceptable 🦉😱😬🦖 @CymbaX13 @Jackal121 #dinosaurs #jurassicpark #raptor #owlsoflitsy #lego

This book is way more intense than the movie! I love the movie, but as it so often is, the book is better.

What a book! 🦖 So good and gripping 😍 5/5
Read for the #PopSugarReadingChallenge2021 and #bookoplathon and #writteninthestarsreadathon

Watched these two yesterday. Wasn‘t sure if I should count Jurassic park, but IMDb says it‘s a thriller, so 😂 Plus I was watching it with my boy to help him narrow down his Halloween costume. He‘s going to be Dr. Grant. +11 pts #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter

I enjoyed this re read immensely. I think I liked it more as an adult.

I‘m a big Jurassic park fan but stumbled across the novel and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it! Found his questioning about humans and genomes and how far is too far super interesting.

Litsy swap has arrived @jimfields3 Thanks. Uncle Tom‘s cabin is a gorgeous addition. I hope my parcel has made it to you by now.

I live in a funny town with one of those over the top burger joints that never disappoints.

It's been years since I watched this movie. As a kid it both terrified me and was my favorite 😂 The book gave me the same impression. It is definitely a thriller, with some nasty descriptions of dinosaur-related deaths. It is very much the embodiment of anything that can go wrong will go wrong. There is a lot of technical science and philosophy speak throughout, but overall it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next 🦖

Trying to get some porch reading in before it gets unreasonably hot.

Book was on sale on Kindle yesterday which was a perfect excuse to grab it for a reread since I don‘t currently have a copy. I first read it a loooong time ago.

Yes, that‘s an Ian Malcolm Funko.

Book 104

Ill stick w the movie

This was one of my favorite books grown up so.. I loved it again as well :) I think they could have/should have had Jeff Goldblum do it for audible but.. the narrator was just as good :) 🐢 None yet. But... we might sell our TX house sooner than we though so we will come into some $. So we are planning ideas. I might want to wait to go on a trip closer to fall (so we can spend time exploring our area in Summer)

@jb72 I got the same! Ellie Sattler: You are an incredibly smart and curious person who isn't afraid to step up and be the brave one in a scary situation. You're always either trying new things, working hard, or getting excited over the little things.
I am gonna stick with the Doctor Who Universe

Sure of course! I mean I love adventure and anything that has to do with that... So sign me up! 🐉
I have to agree with @jb72... Doctor Who is the best Sci-fi Character!

Velociraptor !Hello, clever girl! Congrats, because when it comes to brains you got 'em all. Not only are you whip smart, but you also make a point of only hanging out with other smarties. That's probably how you manage to win in almost every situation. Because when the going gets tough, you rely on your quick thinking and killer instincts to guide you. Turns out, they are usually right.

I‘m rereading this bad boy because 1. It scared the bejeezus out of me in high school and 2. I never read the sequel.

A month after it made headlines that his business partner announced that he could reconstruct a real Jurassic Park, Elon Musk hosted SNL. I certainly hope that Michael Che or Kate McKinnon slipped him a copy so he can see how that turned out! Despite the fact that John Hammond #meanswell the road to hell is paved with T-Rex bones. I read Jurassic Park many many years ago & am planning on reading Lost World soon. Fun fact! Chip Kidd's book design👇

Started this audio today while I do some housework. Husband is coming back in today, so I wanted to clean and do laundry and all the stuff. Also this is one of my favorite books! So excited to re-visit this. The audio so far is pretty entertaining.

#ThoughtfulThursday
📚Yes! Harry Potter series (probably 5 or 6 times)
📚If I‘m reading a new (to me) author or genre, then yes!
📚I heard this week someone (with too much money) wants to create a REAL Jurassic 😳 which reminds me of the films which locations are so gorgeous.

✨Everyone is welcome to play! Tagging some Littens to get the ball rolling! I truly love reading everyone‘s answers each week!✨

Wow, this book was incredible. I really enjoyed it.

I have always loved them film since childhood, however I really liked just how different the book is to the film. The book is so descriptive, the characters are really well written and their thoughts and actions are detailed and explained well.

Ian Malcolm is still my favourite ☺️❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good God I loved this book. I love dinosaurs and the movies, but the book is pure genius and imagery and it took me two days to finish almost 500 pages. #litsyAtoZ

It was a really fun story but the writing was OK. Crichton really loved the words "foliage" and said".

"It had nothing to do with the cause of death; it had to do with the way a carcass dried in the sun."

An old copy of Jurassic Park is next up from the #TBRDeckofCards with @Clwojick

I've been enjoying at least seeing what is chosen next. This one I have never read or seen the movie. I dont know what to expect besides dinosaurs. Also this copy is old as evidenced by the tape holding it all together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - really enjoyed this book & the style of writing. I did find that some of the descriptions could have had a bit more depth when describing the dinosaurs or certain scenarios which were aimed to get the heart racing. A bit disappointed that one of the most iconic scenes from the film, wasn‘t in the book however fully aware films take creative licence over the original source. I would highly recommend everyone gets their teeth into this!
